Proverbs often use metaphor and other figurative language to make their point. There are other terms that describe specific types of proverbs. A proverb that describes a basic rule of conduct or behavior may also be known as a maxim. If a proverb uses particularly good or “writerly” phrasing, it may be known as an aphorism. Proverbs are often borrowed from similar languages and cultures, and sometimes come down to present-day English through more than one language. Both the Hebrew Bible (also known as the Old Testament to Christians) and medieval Latin have played a significant role in spreading proverbs across Europe, although almost every culture has examples of its own. In Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, proverbs play a key role in the Igbo (in the book, Ibo) communities he describes. Proverbs were highly prized in Igbo society and were used by respected leaders and speakers as the main method of communication, or as Achebe puts it, “the palm oil with which words are eaten.” Some examples of proverbs in his books include “The most horrible sight in the world cannot put out the eye,” “When a handshake goes below the elbow, then know it has turned into something else,” and “The death that will kill a man begins as an appetite.” Besides using actual books, there are online resources for proverbs: “Achebe’s Proverbs” can be found at  HYPERLINK "http://www.kwenu.com/igbo/igbowebpages/Igbo.dir/proverb.htm" http://www.kwenu.com/igbo/igbowebpages/Igbo.dir/proverb.htm Famous Spanish proverbs can be found at  HYPERLINK "http://www.spanish-learning-corner.com/spanish-proverbs.html" http://www.spanish-learning-corner.com/spanish-proverbs.html Famous European proverbs can be found at  HYPERLINK "http://www.rodneyohebsion.com/weproverbs.html" http://www.rodneyohebsion.com/weproverbs.html Famous Chinese proverbs can be found at  HYPERLINK "http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Chinese_Proverb/" http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Chinese_Proverb/ The Book of Proverbs from the Hebrew Bible can be found at  HYPERLINK "http://www.online-bible.org.uk/proverbs/index.htm" http://www.online-bible.org.uk/proverbs/index.htm YOUR WRITING TASK: Select three proverbs from any traditions or cultures that cause a strong emotional reaction in you (positive or negative). It may be easier to use all three proverbs from one particular culture or tradition, but you may “mix and match” how you see fit. This is YOUR paper. Using your superior writing and analysis abilities, write an essay (complete with the introduction- including a thesis, body, and conclusion) that explores and answers the question, “How can these proverbs apply to your life today?” In other words, “What can you learn about yourself and your behavior from the advice given in these three proverbs?” You will need to incorporate the proverb into your writing, cite the source from which you obtained the proverb, explain what the proverb means, and describe how it can provide valuable advice to you today. You may wish to include a specific story or anecdote for each proverb to demonstrate how it could have applied to your life OR how it did apply to your life already. Although this is a formal essay requiring the use of correct grammar, mechanics, spelling, usage, and organization, you are permitted to use first-person pronouns “I/me/myself/my” in this essay since the essay is primarily about you and your personal reaction to the proverbs you selected. Please understand that typically in academic essays, you are not to use first-person pronouns. This assignment is due in one week, lucky Wednesday, February 29, 2012.
